Description

Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Datenseite sowie eines Buchblocks für ein buchartiges Dokument sowie Datenseite für ein buchartiges DokumentMethod for producing a data page and a book block for a book-like document and a data page for a book-like document

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Datenseite für ein buchartiges Dokument, insbesondere Wert- und/oder Sicherheitsdokument, sowie ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Buchblocks für ein buchartiges Dokument. Des Weiteren betrifft die Erfindung eine Datenseite für ein solches buchartiges Dokument.The invention relates to a method for producing a data page for a book-like document, in particular a value and / or security document, as well as a method for producing a book block for a book-like document. The invention also relates to a data page for such a book-like document.

Derartige Sicherheitsdokumente können insbesondere Passdokumente sein, die typischerweise in Heft- oder Buchform vorliegen und in denen eine Informationen speichernde Datenseite mit dem Passdokument verbunden ist. Diese Datenseite ist beispielsweise eine Passbuchkarte beziehungsweise Passkarte, die in das Passdokument eingebunden ist. Auf dieser Passbuchkarte sind personalisierte Daten und andere Daten, z. B. Informationen zur ausstellenden Behörde, enthalten. Diese Passbuchkarte muss derart mit den anderen Innenseiten des Passdokumentes verbunden sein, dass ein Dritter die Passbuchkarte nicht aus dem Dokument heraustrennen kann, um eine Fälschung oder Verfälschung des Passdokumentes vorzunehmen. Darüber hinaus ist es erforderlich, dass durch die Einbindung dieser Passbuchkarte mittels einer Lasche ein Aufsperrverhalten des Passdokuments verbessert ist, damit nach einem einmaligen Öffnen und einem darauffolgenden Schließen das Passdokument auch geschlossen bleibt, um ein optisches Auslesen der Informationen zu verhindern.Such security documents can in particular be passport documents which are typically present in booklet or book form and in which a data page storing information is linked to the passport document. This data page is, for example, a passport book card or passport card that is integrated into the passport document. On this passport book card are personalized data and other data, e.g. B. Information on the issuing authority. This passport book card must be connected to the other inside pages of the passport document in such a way that a third party cannot tear the passport book card out of the document in order to forge or falsify the passport document. In addition, it is necessary that by integrating this passport book card by means of a tab, an unlocking behavior of the passport document is improved so that the passport document also remains closed after a one-time opening and subsequent closing in order to prevent optical reading of the information.

Aus der DE 10 2012 213 913 A1 ist die Herstellung einer Passbuchkarte bekannt, bei der die Anbindung eines textilen Bandmaterials als Lasche an einem Datenträger zur Bildung einer Passbuchkarte erfolgt. Dabei wird die Lasche aus einem textilen Bandmaterial überlappend zu einer Längsseite oder Seitenkante des Datenträgers positioniert. Darauffolgend wird die Lasche im Überlappungsbereich mit dem Datenträger durch Verschweißen verbunden. Hierbei erfolgt insbesondere ein Ultraschallschweißen, bei der ein Amboss sowie eine Sonotrode außerhalb des Überlappungsbereichs positioniert werden, um darauffolgend die Lasche mit dem Datenträger in dem Überlappungsbereich durch Ultraschallschweißen zu verbinden. Dabei verkrallt sich die Lasche bevorzugt mit dem Datenträger.From the DE 10 2012 213 913 A1 the production of a passport book card is known in which the connection of a textile strip material takes place as a tab on a data carrier to form a passport book card. The flap made of a textile tape material is positioned so that it overlaps a long side or side edge of the data carrier. The tab is then connected to the data carrier in the overlap area by welding. Here, in particular, ultrasonic welding takes place, in which an anvil and a sonotrode be positioned outside the overlap area in order to subsequently connect the tab to the data carrier in the overlap area by ultrasonic welding. In doing so, the tab preferably digs into the data carrier.

Aus der DE 10 2012 112 383 A1 ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer solchen Datenseite für ein buchartiges Dokument bekannt. Dabei wird einem Datenträger ein daran anzubindendes flexibles Bandmaterial zugeführt, so dass ein Überlappungsbereich mit dem Datenträger gebildet ist. Darauffolgend wird das Bandmaterial, welches durch ein Endlosband bereitgestellt ist, abgeschnitten, so dass nach dem Positionieren der Lasche unter Bildung eines Überlappungsbereichs diese zum Datenträger unlösbar verbunden werden kann.From the DE 10 2012 112 383 A1 a method for producing such a data page for a book-like document is known. A flexible tape material to be attached to it is fed to a data carrier, so that an area of overlap with the data carrier is formed. The band material, which is provided by an endless band, is then cut off, so that after the flap has been positioned, forming an overlap area, it can be permanently connected to the data carrier.

Bei Einsatz eines textilen Bandmaterials zur Bildung einer Lasche kommt es zu offenen Schnittkanten, indem die einzelnen Fäden oder Fasern des textilen Bandmaterials sich aufwellen oder aufkräuseln. Dadurch kann die Lasche an der Schnittstelle geschwächt werden.When a textile band material is used to form a flap, open cut edges occur in that the individual threads or fibers of the textile band material curl up or curl up. This can weaken the tab at the interface.

Aus der EP 1 878 589 B1 ist eine Datenseite nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 8 sowie ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Datenseite für ein Ausweisdokument bekannt, welches einen Datenträger mit einer daran befestigten Lasche aus textilem Bandmaterial umfasst. Auf einen herausragenden Bereich der Lasche ist eine Versiegelungsmasse vollflächig aufgebracht.From the EP 1 878 589 B1 a data page according to the preamble of claim 8 and a method for producing a data page for an identification document are known which comprises a data carrier with a flap made of textile tape material attached to it. A sealing compound is applied over the entire surface of a protruding area of the tab.

Aus der WO 2016/196 723 A1 ist des Weiteren eine Datenseite für ein Passbuch bekannt, welches einen Datenträger mit einer daran befestigten Lasche aus einem textilen Bandmaterial umfasst. In die Lasche ist eine Versiegelungsfläche im stirnseitigen Endbereich eingebracht. Dabei ist eine Versiegelung in Form einer Zickzacklinie eingeprägt.From the WO 2016/196 723 A1 Furthermore, a data page for a passport book is known which comprises a data carrier with a flap made of a textile tape material attached to it. A sealing surface is made in the front end area of the tab. A seal is embossed in the form of a zigzag line.

Aus der DE 10 2014 110 585 A1 ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Datenseite bekannt, welches ein Datenträger mit einer daran befestigten Lasche aus textilem Bandmaterial umfasst. Eine Versiegelungsmasse ist vollflächig in die mittlere Schicht eingebracht, die auch die Lasche bildet.From the DE 10 2014 110 585 A1 a method for producing a data page is known which comprises a data carrier with a strap made of textile tape material attached to it. A sealing compound is applied over the entire surface of the middle layer, which also forms the flap.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Datenseite sowie ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines buchartigen Dokument als auch eine Datenseite für ein buchartiges Dokument vorzuschlagen, wodurch ein geschlossener Randabschluss an den Schnittstellen der Lasche erzielt wird.The invention is therefore based on the object of a method for producing a data page and a method for producing a book-like document as well as a data page for a book-like one To propose document, whereby a closed edge termination is achieved at the interfaces of the flap.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren nach Anspruch 1 gelöst, bei welchem die Lasche mit einem Datenträger zusammengeführt wird, der ein Rohmaß aufweist, dessen Stirnkanten einen größeren Abstand aufweisen als ein Abstand von Schnittlinien zur Bildung von Seitenkanten des Datenträgers im Endformat und bei dem in die Lasche im jeweiligen Endbereich zumindest eine Versiegelungsfläche eingebracht wird, innerhalb der die Schnittlinie für das Endformat des Datenträgers verläuft. Dadurch wird die Schnittstelle des textilen Bandmaterials zur Bildung der Lasche im Endformat an den jeweiligen stirnseitigen Endbereichen versiegelt und ein geschlossener Randabschluss des geschnittenen textilen Bandmaterials erzielt. Somit ist ein Aufkräuseln des textilen Bandmaterials verhindert.This object is achieved by a method according to claim 1, in which the flap is brought together with a data carrier which has a rough dimension, the front edges of which have a greater distance than a distance between cutting lines to form side edges of the data carrier in the final format and in the At least one sealing surface is introduced into the tab in the respective end area, within which the cutting line for the end format of the data carrier runs. As a result, the interface of the textile band material for forming the flap in the final format is sealed at the respective end regions and a closed edge closure of the cut textile band material is achieved. This prevents the textile band material from curling.

Zur Bildung der Versiegelungsfläche wird zumindest eine Oberfläche des textilen Bandmaterials aufgeschmolzen. Dabei werden im Überlappungsbereich die eine freie Oberfläche und im hinausragenden Bereich der Lasche beide Oberflächen aufgeschmolzen. Dies ermöglicht, dass die freien Enden der Fäden und/oder Fasern des textilen Bandmaterials sich miteinander stoffschlüssig verbinden und verschmelzen, so dass ein versiegelter Randabschluss geschaffen wird.To form the sealing surface, at least one surface of the textile strip material is melted. One free surface is melted in the overlapping area and both surfaces are melted in the protruding area of the tab. This enables the free ends of the threads and / or fibers of the textile band material to be connected to one another in a materially bonded manner and to fuse, so that a sealed edge seal is created.

Bevorzugt wird als textiles Bandmaterial ein Gewebe, Gewirke, Gestrick, ein Filz oder Vlies aus einem oder mehreren schmelzbaren Substanzen eingesetzt. Dadurch wird beim Einbringen von Temperatur ein Aufschmelzen der Fäden und/oder Fasern zum Verschmelzen miteinander ermöglicht, um die Versiegelungsfläche zu bilden.A woven, knitted, knitted fabric, felt or fleece made of one or more meltable substances is preferably used as the textile tape material. As a result, when the temperature is introduced, the threads and / or fibers can be melted to fuse with one another in order to form the sealing surface.

Als textile Materialien für die Lasche werden bevorzugt schmelzbare textile Materialien eingesetzt, die vorzugsweise ganz oder teilweise aus Kunststoff (Polymer) gebildet sind, insbesondere aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff. Bevorzugt wird dabei ein thermoplastischer Kunststoff, ein Polyester, beispielsweise Polyethylenterephthalat (PET) oder ein thermoplastisches Polyurethan (TPU) eingesetzt. Das textile Material kann bevorzugt zumindest teilweise aus Polyester gebildet sein. Der Schmelzpunkt oder die Glasübergangstemperatur des schmelzbaren Materials ist vorzugsweise an die Materialeigenschaften des Datenträgers angepasst. Die Schmelz- und/oder Glasübergangstemperatur der Lasche und des Datenträgers sind vorzugsweise ähnlich groß (beispielsweise innerhalb eines Temperaturbereichs von 50 °C), damit der Schweißvorgang fehlerfrei und einfach durchführbar ist. Außerdem kann das textile Material teilweise aus Baumwolle bestehen. Beispielsweise kann auch eine Baumwoll-Polymer-Mischung, insbesondere eine Baumwoll-Polyester-Mischung, eingesetzt werden. Des Weiteren kann die Lasche aus wenigstens zwei verschiedenen Materialien (Mischgewebe) gebildet werden, von denen eine beim Verschweißen der Lasche an den Datenträger anschmilzt und sich das andere Material beim Schweißvorgang mit dem Datenträger nicht verbindet.Meltable textile materials are preferably used as textile materials for the tab, which are preferably formed entirely or partially from plastic (polymer), in particular from thermoplastic plastic. A thermoplastic plastic, a polyester, for example polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is preferably used. The textile material can preferably be formed at least partially from polyester. The melting point or the glass transition temperature of the fusible material is preferably adapted to the material properties of the data carrier. The melting and / or glass transition temperature of the tab and the data carrier are preferably similar (for example within a temperature range of 50 ° C.) so that the welding process can be carried out easily and without errors. In addition, the textile material can partly consist of cotton. For example, a cotton-polymer mixture, in particular a cotton-polyester mixture, can also be used. Furthermore, the tab can be formed from at least two different materials (mixed fabrics), one of which melts when the tab is welded to the data carrier and the other material does not bond to the data carrier during the welding process.

Weiterhin wird der Datenträger bevorzugt aus einer oder mehreren Schichten gebildet und die eine oder die mehreren Schichten aus einem oder mehreren Materialien aus Kunststoff zur Bildung eines Datenträgers oder eines Datenträgers im Laminatverbund verwendet. Dadurch kann insbesondere ein gutes Anbinden des textilen Bandmaterials zur Bildung an dem Datenträger ermöglicht sein. Beispielsweise kann ein Verschweißen erfolgen, wodurch zumindest ein Verkrallen des textilen Bandmaterials mit dem Datenträger ermöglicht wird. Bevorzugt ist der Datenträger aus einem Polycarbonat oder aus einem Polycarbonat-Derivat gebildet. Des Weiteren können zur Bildung des Datenträgers weitere Kunststoffe vorgesehen sein, insbesondere Bisphenol-A-Polycarbonat, Carboxy-modifiziertes PC, Polyethylenterephthalat (PET), dessen Derivate, wie glykolmodifiziertes PET (PETG), Carboxy-modifiziertes PET, Polyethylennaphthalat (PEN), Polyvinylchlorid (PVC), Polyvinylbutyral (PVB), Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA), Polyimid (PI), Polyvinylalkohol (PVA), Polystyrol (PS), Polvinylphenol (PVP), Polypropylen (PP), Polyethylen (PE), thermoplastisches Elastomer (TPE), insbesondere thermoplastisches Polyurethan (TPU), Acrylnitril-Butadien-StyrolCopolymer (ABS) und/oder deren Derivate oder aus Papier und/oder Pappe oder aus Mischungen der vorgenannten Materialien. Das Material für den Datenträger ist bevorzugt zumindest teilweise aus Polycarbonat oder aus einem Polycarbonat-Derivat gebildet.Furthermore, the data carrier is preferably formed from one or more layers and the one or more layers are used from one or more plastic materials to form a data carrier or a data carrier in the laminate composite. In this way, in particular, a good connection of the textile tape material for formation on the data carrier can be made possible. For example, welding can take place, as a result of which at least the textile tape material can claw with the data carrier. The data carrier is preferably formed from a polycarbonate or from a polycarbonate derivative. Furthermore, other plastics can be provided to form the data carrier, in particular bisphenol-A polycarbonate, carboxy-modified PC, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), its derivatives, such as glycol-modified PET (PETG), carboxy-modified PET, polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinyl butyral (PVB), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyimide (PI), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polystyrene (PS), polvinylphenol (PVP), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), in particular thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS) and / or their derivatives or made of paper and / or Cardboard or mixtures of the aforesaid materials. The material for the data carrier is preferably formed at least partially from polycarbonate or from a polycarbonate derivative.

Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausgestaltung des Verfahrens sieht vor, dass das textile Bandmaterial zur Bildung der Lasche als Endlosband dem Datenträger zugeführt und das textile Bandmaterial ohne Trennung vom Endlosband im Überlappungsbereich mit dem Datenträger verschweißt sowie gleichzeitig mit der Bildung der Versiegelungsflächen die Lasche von dem Endlosband abgetrennt wird. Dadurch kann eine prozessoptimierte Herstellung ermöglicht sein, da mit dem Verfahrensschritt des Abtrennens der Lasche von dem Endlosband gleichzeitig das Einbringen der Versiegelungsflächen in die Lasche erfolgt.Another preferred embodiment of the method provides that the textile tape material to form the flap is fed to the data carrier as an endless tape and the textile tape material is welded to the data carrier in the overlap area without separation from the endless tape and the flap is separated from the endless tape at the same time as the sealing surfaces are formed . This enables process-optimized production, since the sealing surfaces are introduced into the tab at the same time as the method step of separating the tab from the endless belt.

Alternativ kann das textile Bandmaterial gleichzeitig mit dem Verschweißen des Datenträgers im Überlappungsbereich oder danach von dem Endlosband abgetrennt und darauffolgend die Versiegelungsflächen eingebracht werden. Gemäß der ersten Alternative kann das Abtrennen des Endlosbandes mit dem Verschweißen in einem Verfahrensschritt erfolgen. Oftmals ist es aufgrund der Anforderungen an die Verbindung der Lasche zum Datenträger im Überlappungsbereich erforderlich, das Endlosband erst darauffolgend zu trennen. Dadurch wird gemäß der zweiten Alternative ein flexibler Austausch der Vorrichtung zum Verschweißen der Lasche im Überlappungsbereich zum Datenträger ermöglicht, insbesondere dann, wenn gleichzeitig mittels der Vorrichtung zum Verschweißen der Lasche im Überlappungsbereich zum Datenträger verschiedene Sicherheitselemente einzubringen sind.Alternatively, the textile band material can be separated from the endless band at the same time as the data carrier is welded in the overlapping area or afterwards, and the sealing surfaces can then be introduced. According to the first alternative, the endless belt can be severed and welded in one process step. Often, due to the requirements for the connection of the flap to the data carrier in the overlapping area, it is necessary to separate the endless belt only afterwards. As a result, according to the second alternative, a flexible exchange of the device for welding the tab in the overlap area to the data carrier is made possible, in particular if different security elements are to be introduced at the same time by means of the device for welding the tab in the overlap area to the data carrier.

Des Weiteren ist die Schnittlinie zur Bildung der Seitenkante des Datenträgers im Endformat innerhalb der Versiegelungsfläche bevorzugt derart vorgesehen, dass sich beidseitig der Schnittlinie ein Versiegelungsflächenabschnitt erstreckt. Dadurch ist bei auftretenden Toleranzen zur Bildung der Schnittkante im Endformat die zu bildende Seitenkante die Versiegelungsfläche quer und somit ein geschlossener und versiegelter Randabschluss der Lasche gegeben.Furthermore, the cutting line for forming the side edge of the data carrier in the final format within the sealing surface is preferably provided in such a way that a sealing surface section extends on both sides of the cutting line. As a result, when tolerances occur to form the cut edge in the final format, the side edge to be formed is the sealing surface transversely and thus a closed and sealed edge closure of the flap is provided.

Des Weiteren wird der Datenträger entlang der Schnittlinie nach dem Einbringen der Versiegelungsfläche auf ein Endmaß geschnitten. Die dadurch gebildete Schnittkante verläuft quer zur Längsachse der Lasche und erstreckt sich durch die Versiegelungsfläche. Dadurch kann sichergestellt werden, dass ein versiegelter Randabschluss der Lasche nach Anbringen der Schnittkante auf ein Endmaß des Datenträgers verbleibt.Furthermore, the data carrier is cut to a final dimension along the cutting line after the sealing surface has been introduced. The cutting edge thus formed runs transversely to the longitudinal axis of the tab and extends through the sealing surface. This can ensure that a sealed edge of the tab remains after the cut edge has been attached to a final dimension of the data carrier.

Des Weiteren wird der Datenträger bevorzugt vor oder nach dem Anbinden der Lasche personalisiert. Die Personalisierung des Datenträgers vor dem Anbinden der Lasche wird bevorzugt bei einer Herstellung eines buchartigen Dokumentes an einer zentralen Produktionsstätte eingesetzt. Das nachträgliche Personalisieren ist besonders bei einer dezentralen Passbuchherstellung vorgesehen.Furthermore, the data carrier is preferably personalized before or after the tab is attached. The personalization of the data carrier before the tab is attached is preferably used when a book-like document is produced at a central production facility. Subsequent personalization is particularly intended for decentralized passport book production.

Zur Verbesserung der haptischen Eigenschaften einer solchen Datenseite kann gemäß einer ersten Ausführungsform auf die Lasche eine Glättungsschicht aufgebracht werden. Des Weiteren kann zumindest in einem Stoßbereich, der zwischen der Lasche und dem Datenträger gebildet ist, eine Glättungsschicht aufgebracht werden, um diesen Stoßbereich zu überdecken. Des Weiteren kann im Überlappungsbereich zwischen der Lasche und dem Datenträger eine Glättungsschicht aufgebracht sein. Auch kann die Glättungsschicht im Überlappungsbereich und mit einem kleinen Überstand über den Stoßbereich in den Datenträger hinein aufgebacht sein. Eine beliebige Kombination der vorstehenden Ausführungsform ist ebenfalls möglich. Diese Glättungsschicht kann unabhängig von dem Aufbringen einer Versiegelungsmasse aufgebracht werden. Auch kann zunächst eine Versiegelungsmasse und dann eine Glättungsfolie aufgebracht werden. Die Glättungsschicht ist bevorzugt als Film oder Folie ausgebildet und wird durch Verschweißen oder Laminieren mit der Datenseite verbunden.To improve the haptic properties of such a data page, according to a first embodiment, a smoothing layer can be applied to the tab. Furthermore, a smoothing layer can be applied at least in a joint area which is formed between the tab and the data carrier in order to cover this joint area. Furthermore, a smoothing layer can be applied in the overlap area between the tab and the data carrier. The smoothing layer can also be applied in the overlap area and with a small protrusion over the joint area into the data carrier. Any combination of the above embodiment is also possible. This smoothing layer can be applied independently of the application of a sealing compound. A sealing compound can also be applied first and then a smoothing film. The smoothing layer is preferably designed as a film or foil and is connected to the data page by welding or lamination.

Die Glättungsschicht kann auch drucktechnisch hergestellt werden. Beispielsweise kann diese Glättungsschicht im Siebdruckverfahren aufgebracht werden. Ergänzend können in oder auf der Glättungsschicht Designelemente vorgesehen sein. Diese können gleichzeitig mit dem Siebdruckverfahren aufgebracht werden oder in einem darauffolgenden Verfahrensschritt.The smoothing layer can also be produced by printing technology. For example, this smoothing layer can be applied using the screen printing process. In addition, design elements can be provided in or on the smoothing layer. These can be used at the same time as the Screen printing process are applied or in a subsequent process step.

Die der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Aufgabe wird des Weiteren durch ein Verfahren nach Anspruch 7 gelöst, bei dem eine Datenseite mit zumindest einer Versiegelungsfläche, welche nach einem Verfahren zur Herstellung der Datenseite nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche hergestellt ist, mit den Innenseiten zu einem Stapel zusammengeführt, die Innenseiten und die Laschen des Datenträgers miteinander verbunden und darauffolgend die Innenseiten und die Lasche mit dem Datenträger gemeinsam entlang der Schnittlinie auf ein Endformat der Datenseite gestanzt oder geschnitten werden.The object on which the invention is based is further achieved by a method according to claim 7, in which a data page with at least one sealing surface, which is produced according to a method for producing the data page according to one of the preceding claims, is brought together with the inner pages to form a stack, the inner sides and the tabs of the data carrier are connected to one another and then the inner sides and the tab with the data carrier are punched or cut together along the cutting line to a final format of the data page.

Durch die Einbringung der Versiegelungsfläche in die Lasche des Datenträgers, durch welche die Schnittlinie für das Endformat der Datenseite verläuft, bleibt ein versiegelter Randabschluss an der Schnittstelle des textilen Bandmaterials der Lasche aufrecht erhalten. Durch die Einbringung der Versiegelungsfläche in das textile Bandmaterial wird dieses vorzugsweise auch zumindest teilweise mit dem Datenträger verschmolzen. Dadurch ist dieser Randabschluss als eine einheitliche und durchgängige Schnittkante ausgebildet, so dass weder ein Aufkräuseln noch ein Aufspleißen von Fäden und/oder Fasern des textilen Bandmaterials gegeben ist. Darüber hinaus wird ein Aufspalten der Stirnkante der Datenseite zum Abtrennen der Lasche vom Datenträger durch eine Manipulation erschwert.By introducing the sealing surface into the flap of the data carrier, through which the cutting line for the final format of the data page runs, a sealed edge seal is maintained at the interface of the textile strip material of the flap. By introducing the sealing surface into the textile tape material, it is preferably also at least partially fused to the data carrier. As a result, this edge termination is designed as a uniform and continuous cut edge, so that there is neither a puckering nor a splicing of threads and / or fibers of the textile tape material. In addition, splitting the front edge of the data page to separate the tab from the data carrier is made more difficult by manipulation.

Die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird des Weiteren durch eine Datenseite nach Anspruch 8 gelöst, bei welchem die Lasche an der jeweiligen schmalen Stirnseite eine Versiegelungsfläche aufweist, die sich von der Schnittkante des Datenträgers im Endformat aus zumindest geringfügig zur gegenüberliegenden Stirnseite erstreckt. Dadurch bleibt ein geschlossener Randabschluss auch bei auftretenden Toleranzen während dem Einbringen der Schnittkante in den Datenträger auf Endformat aufrecht erhalten.The object on which the invention is based is further achieved by a data page according to claim 8, in which the tab on the respective narrow end face has a sealing surface which extends at least slightly from the cut edge of the data carrier in the final format to the opposite end face. As a result, a closed edge seal is maintained even if tolerances occur during the introduction of the cut edge into the data carrier in the final format.

Die Versiegelungsfläche erstreckt sich entlang der Stirnseite der Lasche zumindest über den hinausragenden Bereich, über die gesamte Breite. Dadurch wird ein sauberer versiegelter Randabschluss vom geschnittenen textilen Bandmaterial erzielt. Die Breite der Versiegelungsfläche ist gleich oder kleiner als die Länge der Versiegelungsfläche entlang der Schnittkante oder Stirnseite der Lasche.The sealing surface extends along the end face of the tab at least over the protruding area, over the entire width. This results in a clean, sealed edge of the cut textile strip material. The width of the sealing surface is equal to or less than the length of the sealing surface along the cut edge or face of the tab.

Des Weiteren ist die Versiegelungsfläche streifenförmig und an die Stirnseite des Datenträgers angrenzend ausgebildet. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass ein schmaler streifenförmiger Bereich genügt, um einen versiegelten Randabschluss auszubilden.Furthermore, the sealing surface is strip-shaped and is designed to be adjacent to the end face of the data carrier. It has been shown that a narrow strip-shaped area is sufficient to form a sealed edge termination.

Des Weiteren ist das textile Bandmaterial im Überlappungsbereich angeschmolzen und mit dem Datenträger stoffschlüssig verbunden. Dadurch kann auch beim Einbringen eines Schnittes zur Bildung des Endformats des Datenträgers ein Aufkräuseln, Ausfransen oder Aufspleißen von Fäden und/oder Fasern des textilen Bandmaterials verhindert sein.Furthermore, the textile tape material is melted in the overlap area and is firmly connected to the data carrier. As a result, even when a cut is made to form the final format of the data carrier, the threads and / or fibers of the textile tape material can be prevented from ruffling, fraying or fanning out.

Die Breite der Versiegelungsfläche ist bevorzugt derart gewählt, dass diese breiter als die auftretenden Toleranzen zum Einbringen der Schnittkante des Datenträgers auf das Endformat ist.The width of the sealing surface is preferably selected such that it is wider than the tolerances that occur for introducing the cut edge of the data carrier onto the final format.

Des Weiteren ist das textile Bandmaterial zur Bildung der Lasche im Überlappungsbereich bevorzugt zwischen den beiden an die stirnseitigen Schnittkanten angrenzenden Versiegelungsflächen zumindest teilweise verschweißt. Zumindest ist ein Verkrallen der jeweils äußersten Schicht des Datenträgers mit dem textilen Bandmaterial im Überlappungsbereich vorgesehen, um eine sichere Anbindung des textilen Bandmaterials zur Bildung der Lasche zu erzielen.Furthermore, the textile tape material for forming the flap in the overlap area is preferably at least partially welded between the two sealing surfaces adjoining the frontal cut edges. At least the outermost layer of the data carrier is clawed with the textile tape material in the overlap area in order to achieve a secure connection of the textile tape material to form the flap.

Die Lasche der Datenseite zum Anbinden an den Datenträger ist bevorzugt als textiles Bandmaterial in Form eines Gewebes, Gewirkes, Gestricks, Vlieses oder Filzes aus einem oder mehreren schmelzbaren Substanzen ausgebildet.The tab of the data page for tying it to the data carrier is preferably designed as a textile tape material in the form of a woven, knitted fabric, fleece or felt made of one or more meltable substances.

Der Datenträger der Datenseite besteht bevorzugt aus einem oder mehreren Schichten, die aus einem oder mehreren Materialien, insbesondere aus Kunststoff, ausgebildet sind. Auch kann der Datenträger aus einem Laminatverbund bestehen.The data carrier of the data page preferably consists of one or more layers, which are made of one or more materials, in particular made of plastic. The data carrier can also consist of a laminate composite.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform des Datenträgers sieht vor, dass auf der Lasche und/oder auf einem Stoßbereich zwischen der Lasche und dem Datenträger und/oder auf einem Überlappungsbereich, der durch die Lasche und den Datenträger gebildet wird, zumindest eine Glättungsschicht aufgebracht wird. Diese Glättungsschicht kann insbesondere bei einer Überdeckung des Stoßbereiches einen zusätzlichen Schutz darstellen und eine verbesserte Haptik ermöglichen.An advantageous embodiment of the data carrier provides that at least one smoothing layer is applied to the tab and / or to a joint area between the tab and the data carrier and / or to an overlap area formed by the tab and the data carrier. This smoothing layer can represent additional protection, in particular when the joint area is covered, and enable improved haptics.

Bevorzugt besteht die Glättungsschicht als Film oder Folie aus einem Kunststoffmaterial, welches niedrigschmelzender als eine Außenschicht des Datenträgers ist. Dadurch kann mit einer geringen Energieeinbringung bereits ein Aufschmelzen und Verbinden der Glättungsschicht mit der Datenseite, also der Lasche und/oder dem Datenträger, erfolgen, ohne dass die Materialien der Lasche und/oder des Datenträgers vollständig aufgeschmolzen werden. Es kann ein Anschmelzen genügen. Dadurch wird auch die Prozesszeit optimiert.The smoothing layer preferably consists of a film or foil made of a plastic material which has a lower melting point than an outer layer of the data carrier. As a result, the smoothing layer can be melted and connected to the data side, that is to say the tab and / or the data carrier, with a low input of energy, without the materials of the tab and / or the data carrier being completely melted. Melting it may be sufficient. This also optimizes the process time.

Die Erfindung sowie weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen und Weiterbildungen derselben werden im Folgenden anhand der in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Beispiele näher beschrieben und erläutert.The invention and further advantageous embodiments and developments thereof are described and explained in more detail below with reference to the examples shown in the drawings.

The personalization data 22 are provided within the data carrier 20. The tab 23 of the data carrier 20 extends over the seam 16. This tab 23 also includes a seam area in which the seam 16 is formed. Additionally or alternatively, a glued and / or welded connection can be provided for the seam 16 in order to bind the flap 23 into the book-like document 11, in particular the book block 15.

In Figur 2 ist schematisch eine Seitenansicht auf die Datenseite 17 dargestellt. Der Datenträger 20 kann beispielsweise ein Transpondermodul 24 umfassen, welches aus einem IC-Chip 25 sowie einer Antenne 26 besteht. Darüber hinaus oder alternativ können weitere elektronische und/oder sonstige Sicherheitselemente, insbesondere diffraktive Sicherheitselemente, ein- und/oder aufgebracht werden.In Figure 2 a side view of the data page 17 is shown schematically. The data carrier 20 can include, for example, a transponder module 24 which consists of an IC chip 25 and an antenna 26. In addition or as an alternative, further electronic and / or other security elements, in particular diffractive security elements, can be incorporated and / or applied.

Die Lasche 23 ist unter Bildung eines Überlappungsbereichs 30 mit dem Datenträger 20 verbunden. Die Lasche 23 besteht aus einem textilen Bandmaterial, welches vorzugsweise durch Schweißen mit einer äußersten Schicht oder Lage des Datenträgers 20 verbunden ist. Hinsichtlich der Anbindung der Lasche 23 des textilen bandförmigen Material für die Lasche 23 als auch des Datenträgers 20 sowie dem Aufbau des Datenträgers 20 wird vollumfänglich auf die DE 10 2012 213 913 A1 Bezug genommen.The tab 23 is connected to the data carrier 20 to form an overlap area 30. The tab 23 consists of a textile band material, which is preferably connected to an outermost layer of the data carrier 20 by welding. With regard to the connection of the flap 23 of the textile band-shaped Material for the tab 23 as well as the data carrier 20 and the structure of the data carrier 20 is fully based on the DE 10 2012 213 913 A1 Referenced.

Die Lasche 23 weist einen über eine Längskante 32 des Datenträgers 20 hinausragenden Bereich 31 auf. Innerhalb diesem hinausragenden Bereich 31 folgt die Anbindung der Datenseite 17 zu den Innenseiten 18 für einen Buchblock 15. In diesem herausragenden Bereich 31 kann auch die Naht 16 eingebracht werden.The tab 23 has an area 31 protruding beyond a longitudinal edge 32 of the data carrier 20. The connection of the data page 17 to the inner pages 18 for a book block 15 follows within this protruding area 31. The seam 16 can also be introduced in this protruding area 31.

Die Datenseite 17 weist eine obere und untere Stirnkante 34, 35 auf. Jeweils eine sich entlang der Lasche 23 erstreckende Stirnseite 36, 37 fluchtet vorzugsweise mit der Stirnkante 34, 35. An die jeweilige Stirnseite 36, 37 der Lasche 23 angrenzend ist eine Versiegelungsfläche 38 vorgesehen. Durch diese Versiegelungsfläche 38 jeweils im Randbereich der Lasche 23 wird ein versiegelter Randabschnitt 39 geschaffen, der sich über die gesamte Breite der Lasche, insbesondere die Länge der Stirnseite 36, 37, erstreckt. Diese Versiegelungsfläche 38 ist bezüglich der Breite gleich oder schmäler als die Breite der Lasche 23 bzw. die Länge der Stirnkante 36, 37. Somit erstrecken sich die beiden am jeweiligen äußeren Randabschnitt 39 der Lasche 23 angeordneten Versiegelungsflächen 38 nur teilweise entlang der Lasche 23 aufeinander zu. Die Ausbildung der Versiegelungsfläche 38 erstreckt sich sowohl über den Überlappungsbereich 30 als auch den hinausragenden Bereich 31. Im Überlappungsbereich 30 steht nur eine freie Oberfläche der Lasche 23 zur Bildung der Versiegelungsfläche 38 zur Verfügung. Im herausragenden Bereich 31 wird sowohl an der Oberseite als auch an der Unterseite der Lasche eine Versiegelungsfläche 38 gebildet.The data page 17 has an upper and lower end edge 34, 35. In each case a front side 36, 37 extending along the tab 23 is preferably aligned with the front edge 34, 35. A sealing surface 38 is provided adjacent to the respective front side 36, 37 of the tab 23. This sealing surface 38 in each case in the edge region of the tab 23 creates a sealed edge section 39 which extends over the entire width of the tab, in particular the length of the end face 36, 37. This sealing surface 38 is equal to or narrower in terms of width than the width of the tab 23 or the length of the end edge 36, 37. Thus, the two sealing surfaces 38 arranged on the respective outer edge section 39 of the tab 23 extend only partially towards each other along the tab 23 . The formation of the sealing surface 38 extends both over the overlapping area 30 and the protruding area 31. In the overlapping area 30, only one free surface of the tab 23 is available for forming the sealing surface 38. In the protruding area 31, a sealing surface 38 is formed both on the upper side and on the lower side of the tab.

Die Versiegelungsfläche 38 kann durch einen thermischen und/oder chemischen Vorgang hergestellt sein. Die Versiegelungsfläche 38 wird durch ein zumindest teilweises Aufschmelzen des textilen Bandmaterials geschaffen, so dass sich die einzelnen Fasern und/oder Fäden stoffschlüssig miteinander verbinden und einen geschlossenen und versiegelten Randabschnitt 39 ausbilden. Bevorzugt geht dieser Randabschnitt 39 fließend in die Stirnkante 34, 35 des Datenträgers 20 über, so dass ein einheitlicher Abschluss entlang der Stirnseite 34, 36 bzw. 35, 37 geschaffen werden kann. Bevorzugt wird die Versiegelungsfläche 38 durch ein Ultraschallverfahren bzw. eine Ultraschallversiegelung hergestellt.The sealing surface 38 can be produced by a thermal and / or chemical process. The sealing surface 38 is created by at least partial melting of the textile tape material, so that the individual fibers and / or threads are materially connected to one another and form a closed and sealed edge section 39. This edge section 39 preferably flows smoothly into the front edge 34, 35 of the data carrier 20 over, so that a uniform termination along the end face 34, 36 or 35, 37 can be created. The sealing surface 38 is preferably produced by an ultrasonic method or an ultrasonic sealing.

In den nachfolgenden Figuren 3 bis 9 sind aufeinanderfolgende Verfahrensschritte dargestellt, durch welche die Datenseite 17 gemäß Figur 2 hergestellt wird. Das textile Bandmaterial für die Lasche 23 wird beispielsweise als ein Endlosband 40 bereitgestellt, wie dies in Figur 3 dargestellt ist. Gleichzeitig wird auf einem Schlitten oder einer Transportpalette 41 oder auf einem Förderband ein Datenträger 20 bereitgestellt, wobei die Lasche 23 und der Datenträger 20 derart zueinander positioniert werden, dass ein Überlappungsbereich 30 gebildet wird, wie dies in Figur 4 in einer Draufsicht dargestellt ist. Darauffolgend werden die Lasche 23 und/oder die Transportpalette 41 aufeinander zubewegt, so dass diese zur Anlage gelangen.In the following Figures 3 to 9 successive method steps are shown, through which the data page 17 according to Figure 2 will be produced. The textile band material for the flap 23 is provided, for example, as an endless band 40, as shown in FIG Figure 3 is shown. At the same time, a data carrier 20 is provided on a carriage or a transport pallet 41 or on a conveyor belt, the tab 23 and the data carrier 20 being positioned relative to one another in such a way that an overlap area 30 is formed, as shown in FIG Figure 4 is shown in a plan view. The tab 23 and / or the transport pallet 41 are then moved towards one another so that they come to rest.

Im Anschluss daran werden die Lasche 23 und der Datenträger 20 in eine Verbindungsstation 43 gemeinsam eingefahren. Diese Verbindungsstation 43 ist in Figur 5 in einer Seitenansicht und in Figur 6 in einer Ansicht von vorne dargestellt. An einer Unterseite des Datenträgers 20 wird beispielsweise ein Amboss 44 positioniert. Gegenüberliegend ist beispielsweise eine Sonotrode 45 vorgesehen. Darauffolgend wird die Lasche 23 an die Datenseite 17 durch Ultraschallschweißen angebunden. Hinsichtlich des Materials der Lasche 23 und/oder des Datenträgers 20 als auch den Verfahrensmöglichkeiten zur Anbindung der Lasche 23 an den Datenträger 20 wird voll umfänglich auf die DE 10 2012 213 913 A1 Bezug genommen.Subsequently, the tab 23 and the data carrier 20 are moved together into a connection station 43. This connection station 43 is in Figure 5 in a side view and in Figure 6 shown in a view from the front. An anvil 44, for example, is positioned on an underside of the data carrier 20. A sonotrode 45 is provided opposite, for example. The tab 23 is then connected to the data page 17 by ultrasonic welding. With regard to the material of the tab 23 and / or the data carrier 20 as well as the method options for connecting the tab 23 to the data carrier 20, the full scope of the DE 10 2012 213 913 A1 Referenced.

Nachdem in der Verbindungsstation 43 die Lasche 23 zum Datenträger 20 zumindest derart verbunden ist, dass ein Verkrallen des Datenträgers 20 im Überlappungsbereich 30 zur Fixierung der Lasche 23 vorgesehen ist, werden der Datenträger 20 und die Lasche 23 in eine Versiegelungsstation 47 übergeführt. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt ist die Lasche 23 immer noch mit dem Endlosband 40 verbunden. Die Versiegelungsstation 47 umfasst zwei Versiegelungsvorrichtungen 48, welche zumindest aus einem Amboss 49 und einer Sonotrode 50 bestehen. Diese Verriegelungseinrichtungen 48 sind derart zueinander beabstandet, dass diese sich jeweils in einem Randbereich der Lasche 23 befinden, so dass das Einbringen von zwei Versiegelungsflächen 38, wie dies in Figur 8 dargestellt ist, jeweils im Randbereich der Lasche 23 erfolgt. Durch die Versiegelungsvorrichtung 48 wird bewirkt, dass die Lasche 23 im Überlappungsbereich 30 einseitig angeschmolzen wird, so dass diese sich mit dem Datenträger 20 verbindet. Des Weiteren wird durch die Versiegelungsvorrichtung 48 im herausragenden Bereich 31 der Lasche 23 erzielt, dass diese beidseitig angeschmolzen wird, so dass eine Schmelze gebildet wird, die einheitlich aushärtet, ohne dass einzelne Fasern und/oder Fäden verbleiben.After the tab 23 is connected to the data carrier 20 in the connection station 43 at least in such a way that the data carrier 20 claws in the overlap area 30 to fix the tab 23, the data carrier 20 and the tab 23 are transferred to a sealing station 47. At this point in time, the tab 23 is still connected to the endless belt 40. The sealing station 47 comprises two sealing devices 48, which consist of at least an anvil 49 and a sonotrode 50. These locking devices 48 are spaced from one another in such a way that they are each located in an edge region of the tab 23, so that the introduction of two sealing surfaces 38, as shown in FIG Figure 8 is shown, takes place in each case in the edge region of the tab 23. The sealing device 48 has the effect that the tab 23 is melted on one side in the overlap area 30, so that it connects to the data carrier 20. Furthermore, the sealing device 48 in the protruding area 31 of the tab 23 ensures that it is melted on both sides, so that a melt is formed which hardens uniformly without individual fibers and / or threads remaining.

Bei der in Figur 7 dargestellten Ausführungsform der Versiegelungsstation 47 weist diese bevorzugt eine Schneidstation 52 auf. Diese Schneidstation 52 ist bevorzugt in der Versiegelungsstation 47 integriert, kann jedoch auch separat ausgebildet sein. Beispielsweise kann diese Schneidstation 52 separat positioniert sein, so dass nach dem Anbinden der Lasche 23 der Datenseite 20 gemäß Figur 6 vor dem Überführen des Datenträgers 20 in die Versiegelungsstation 47 ein Schnitt des Endlosbandes 40 erfolgt. Ebenso kann die Schneidstation 52 auch der Versiegelungsstation 47 nachgeschaltet sein.At the in Figure 7 The embodiment of the sealing station 47 shown here preferably has a cutting station 52. This cutting station 52 is preferably integrated in the sealing station 47, but can also be designed separately. For example, this cutting station 52 can be positioned separately, so that after the tab 23 has been tied to the data page 20 according to FIG Figure 6 Before the data carrier 20 is transferred into the sealing station 47, the endless belt 40 is cut. The cutting station 52 can also be connected downstream of the sealing station 47.

Durch die Schneidstation 52 wird die Lasche 23 von dem Endlosband 40 getrennt. Dabei liegt der Schnitt für die Trennung des Endlosbandes 40 bevorzugt außerhalb der Versiegelungsfläche 38.The tab 23 is separated from the endless belt 40 by the cutting station 52. In this case, the cut for the separation of the endless belt 40 is preferably outside the sealing surface 38.

Bevorzugt wird eine Datenseite 17 im Rohmaß hergestellt, wie diese in Figur 9 dargestellt ist. Die Stirnkanten 54, 55 des Datenträgers 20 entsprechen einem Rohmaß für eine herzustellende Datenseite 17. In einem nicht näher dargestellten Schneid- oder Stanzschritt werden Schnittkanten entlang den Schnittlinien 57 in den Datenträger 20 und in die Lasche 23 eingebracht sowie auf ein Endformat geschnitten oder gestanzt. Die Stirnkanten 34, 35 des Datenträgers 20 und Stirnseiten 36, 37 der Lasche 23 gemäß Figur 2 werden durch einen solchen Schnitt gebildet. Der Abstand der einander gegenüberliegenden Versiegelungsflächen 38 ist dabei derart vorgesehen, dass die Schnittlinien 57 für das Endformat der Datenseite 17 jeweils die Versiegelungsfläche 38 vollständig durchkreuzt. Bevorzugt durchquert die jeweilige Schnittlinie 57 die Versiegelungsfläche 38, so dass beidseitig zur Schnittlinie 57 sich vorzugsweise gleiche Flächenabschnitte der Versiegelungsfläche 38 bilden. Die Versiegelungsflächen 38 können sich auch bis zu den Stirnkanten 54, 55 erstrecken. Dies steht in Abhängigkeit des Übermaßes des Datenträgers im Rohmaß im Verhältnis zum Endformat des Datenträgers 20. Der Datenträger 20 kann auch noch zusätzlich entlang Stirnkante 58 auf Endformat geschnitten werden.A data page 17 is preferably produced in raw dimensions, as shown in FIG Figure 9 is shown. The front edges 54, 55 of the data carrier 20 correspond to a rough dimension for a data page 17 to be produced. The front edges 34, 35 of the data carrier 20 and front sides 36, 37 of the tab 23 according to FIG Figure 2 are formed by such a cut. The distance between the opposite Sealing surfaces 38 are provided in such a way that the cutting lines 57 for the final format of the data page 17 each completely crosses the sealing surface 38. The respective cutting line 57 preferably traverses the sealing surface 38, so that the same surface sections of the sealing surface 38 are preferably formed on both sides of the cutting line 57. The sealing surfaces 38 can also extend as far as the end edges 54, 55. This is dependent on the oversize of the data carrier in the raw dimension in relation to the final format of the data carrier 20. The data carrier 20 can also be cut to the final format along the front edge 58.

Durch die Positionierung der Schnittlinie 57 innerhalb der Versiegelungsfläche 38 wird nach dem Einbringen des Schnitts ein sauberer, versiegelter Randabschnitt 39 bzw. Randabschluss geschaffen, so dass ein Aufspleißen und oder Aufkräuseln der Fasern und/oder Fäden der Lasche 23 verhindert ist.By positioning the cutting line 57 within the sealing surface 38, after the cut has been made, a clean, sealed edge section 39 or edge termination is created so that the fibers and / or threads of the tab 23 are prevented from fanning and / or curling.

In Figur 10 ist eine alternative, nicht zur Erfindung gehörende Ausführungsform der Datenseite 17 zu den in den Figuren 1 bis 9 beschriebenen Datenseiten 17 dargestellt. Diese Datenseite 17 weicht im Hinblick auf die Ausbildung einer Versiegelungsfläche 38 von dem vorbeschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel ab. Gemäß einer ersten Ausführungsform wird die Lasche 23 aus einem textilen Bandmaterial bereitgestellt und zugeführt, welche beispielsweise in einem herausragenden Bereich 31 der Lasche 23 eine Versiegelungsmasse aufweist, wodurch der herausragende Bereich 31 über seine gesamte Länge versiegelt ist. Als Versiegelungsmasse kann beispielsweise ein Klebemittel oder dergleichen vorgesehen sein. Der Überlappungsbereich 30 des textilen Bandmaterials ist ohne Klebemittel ausgebildet. Die Herstellung dieser in Figur 10 dargestellten Datenseite 17 erfolgt analog hinsichtlich der in den Figuren 3 bis 6 beschriebenen Schritte. Danach erfolgt ein Abtrennen der Datenseite 17 im Rohmaß vom Endlosband 40, ohne dass zusätzliche Versiegelungsflächen eingebracht werden, wie dies in Figur 7 dargestellt ist. Darauffolgend wird die im Rohmaß vorliegende Datenseite 17 entlang den Schnittlinien 57 gemäß Figur 10 auf ein Endmaß geschnitten. Durch diese Einbringung der Versiegelungsfläche 38 im herausragenden Bereich wird ebenfalls verhindert, dass die Schnittkanten 57 des textilen Bandmaterials aufkräuseln oder aufspleißen.In Figure 10 FIG. 13 is an alternative embodiment of the data page 17 not belonging to the invention to the ones in FIGS Figures 1 to 9 data pages 17 described. This data page 17 differs from the embodiment described above with regard to the formation of a sealing surface 38. According to a first embodiment, the tab 23 is provided and supplied from a textile strip material, which has a sealing compound, for example, in a protruding area 31 of the tab 23, whereby the protruding area 31 is sealed over its entire length. For example, an adhesive or the like can be provided as the sealing compound. The overlap area 30 of the textile tape material is formed without adhesive. The manufacture of this in Figure 10 The data page 17 shown is carried out analogously with regard to the data page 17 shown in FIG Figures 3 to 6 described steps. The raw data page 17 is then severed from the endless belt 40 without additional sealing surfaces being introduced, as shown in FIG Figure 7 is shown. The data page 17 present in raw dimensions is then shown along the cutting lines 57 according to FIG Figure 10 to a Final dimension cut. This introduction of the sealing surface 38 in the protruding area also prevents the cut edges 57 of the textile strip material from curling up or splitting open.

Alternativ kann sich die Versiegelungsfläche 38 im hinausragenden Bereich 31 längs der Lasche 23 nur abschnittsweise erstrecken, so dass die Versiegelungsflächen 38 jeweils im Endabschnitt der Lasche 23 im Bereich der Schnittlinien 57 vorgesehen sind. Dies entspricht der Position der Versiegelungsflächen 38 in Figur 8.Alternatively, the sealing surface 38 can only extend in sections in the protruding area 31 along the tab 23, so that the sealing surfaces 38 are each provided in the end section of the tab 23 in the area of the cutting lines 57. This corresponds to the position of the sealing surfaces 38 in FIG Figure 8 .

In Figur 11 ist eine schematische Seitenansicht einer alternativen Ausführungsform der Datenseite 17 gemäß Figur 2 dargestellt. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist zusätzlich eine Glättungsschicht 59 auf einen zwischen der Lasche 23 und dem Datenträger 20 gebildeten Stoßbereich 61 aufgebracht. Dieser Stoßbereich 61 wird durch den Übergang des Laschenmaterials zum Material des Datenträgers gebildet. Die Glättungsschicht 59 kann sich nur über diesen Stoßbereich 61 erstrecken. Alternativ kann die Glättungsschicht 59 sich über den Stoßbereich 61 und den Überlappungsbereich 30 erstrecken, wie dies beispielsweise in Figur 11 dargestellt ist. Hinsichtlich der Überdeckung der Lasche 23 kann die Glättungsschicht 59 auch wahlweise ausgebildet sein.In Figure 11 FIG. 14 is a schematic side view of an alternative embodiment of the data page 17 according to FIG Figure 2 shown. In this embodiment, a smoothing layer 59 is additionally applied to a joint area 61 formed between the tab 23 and the data carrier 20. This abutment area 61 is formed by the transition of the tab material to the material of the data carrier. The smoothing layer 59 can only extend over this joint region 61. Alternatively, the smoothing layer 59 can extend over the joint area 61 and the overlap area 30, as shown, for example, in FIG Figure 11 is shown. With regard to the covering of the tab 23, the smoothing layer 59 can also be designed optionally.

Die Glättungsschicht 59 ist bevorzugt aus einem Film oder einer Folie, insbesondere einer bandförmigen Folie, hergestellt. Die Glättungsschicht 59 kann Sicherheitsmerkmale, wie beispielsweise Hologramme, Kinegramme, Beugungsstrukturen und/oder Effektpigmente und/oder Einfärbungen, umfassen.The smoothing layer 59 is preferably made from a film or a foil, in particular a strip-shaped foil. The smoothing layer 59 can comprise security features such as, for example, holograms, kinegrams, diffraction structures and / or effect pigments and / or colorations.

Die Glättungsschicht 59 ist bevorzugt aus einem Kunststoffmaterial ausgebildet, welches gegenüber dem Material der Lasche 23 oder dem Material des Datenträgers 20, insbesondere einer äußeren Schicht des Datenträgers 20, auf dem die Glättungsschicht 59 aufgebracht wird, welches diesem gegenüber einen niedrigeren Schmelzpunkt aufweist. Dadurch kann ein einfaches Aufbringen mit einer geringeren Energieeinbringung ermöglicht sein. Diese Glättungsschicht 59 weist den Vorteil auf, dass offene Poren der Lasche 23 geschlossen werden. Zusätzlich wird der Stoßbereich 61 geglättet beziehungsweise mit Material der Glättungsschicht ausgefüllt, so dass eine verbesserte Haptik gegeben ist. Bezugszeichenliste 11. Buchartiges Dokument 35.

This enables simple application with less energy input. This smoothing layer 59 has the advantage that open pores of the tab 23 are closed. In addition, the joint area 61 is smoothed or with material the smoothing layer filled so that an improved feel is given. List of reference symbols 11th Book-like document 35.
